Gene:
dipeptidylpeptidase 10
Description:
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the S9B family in clan SC of the serine proteases. This protein has no detectable protease activity, most likely due to the absence of the conserved serine residue normally present in the catalytic domain of serine proteases. A link between mutations in this gene and asthma is suspected. Two splice variants of this gene, encoding different isoforms, have been described.
